Cheers nomad....I may try cleaning it out first, see if that helps, I get high idle or no idle at all and cuts out, I'm thinking it may have something to do with that, I've been told it's had it any way

Bring it to me Saturday I'll set it on fire for you together with mine and Beata's....

its a bit fiddly to remove that whole unit from underneath the inlet manifold (I found anyway).You could try removing the idle screw and squirting some carb cleaner in first to see if that does anything

Mr B

Iacv-aac valve 2378154C00Get it off and test and clean it with loads of carb/throttle body cleaner and compressed air, little shot of wd40 may help.I expect they over £200 new and likely long wait/hard source as R specific, I would try source a known good used one if yours turns out be faulty . Worth checking ecu temp sensor signal and tps setup, what maf you got, you run without lambda ? assume it runs fine when open throttle !?

Well I've taken it out, stripped it completely,cleaned it and wd40'd it, put it back together and it still just cuts out after idling for a short while, the afr starts leaning out and then it just cuts out! And it's only done this since the turbo went! That's been fully rebuilt (with a bigger exhaust wheel) so what the hell could it be??? I'm going to take it for mapping next month but ideally would like to get it sorted before then.....

I seem to remember a couple guys that removed all that idle control gubbins completely and never had any issues with stalling or dodgy idle, definitely sounds like something else is wrong. I'd tend to agree with Stu, it does sound like an air leak somewhere...maybe between turbo and maf if you've had that pipe off?

It just seems extremely coincidental that as my turbo went this also happens...I'll check the maf to turbo pipe, I'll give the maf a good clean as well and check as much piping as possible, but I'm sure there's more to this than a leak....
